Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the general availability of Amazon Inspector, a vulnerability scanning tool that integrates with GitHub and GitLab. This tool combines static application security testing and software composition analysis with the capability to scan infrastructure as code. This integration provides developers with immediate feedback on potential vulnerabilities in their code, significantly enhancing the security of applications in the development lifecycle. Additionally, AWS introduced an open source tool for easier authorization in web applications and showcased the use of AI through Amazon Q Developer for early bug detection.
Amazon Inspector is now generally available, integrating with GitHub and GitLab to help surface vulnerabilities in source code, dependencies, and infrastructure as code.
The expansion of DevSecOps capabilities by AWS enables a critical 'shift left' for cloud security, embedding vulnerability management earlier in the development lifecycle.
The open source package @verifiedpermissions/authorization-clients-js allows developers to implement authorization in APIs quickly, reducing the need for custom code.
Amazon Q Developer uses AI to identify vulnerabilities during development, enabling early resolution of issues to improve overall application quality.
